Quiet quitting 🤫 #shorts

'Quiet quitting’ has been a controversial ‘new’ term to describe employees doing what they’re paid to do at work. Employees are setting boundaries, and enforcing a work life balance for themselves. What do you think about it? 👀 #shorts

Funny how employers don’t notice your hard work and dedication by going above and beyond but the moment you stop they are aware. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We need to stop calling it quiet quiting and call it what it is, doing our jobs.

I've been saying this for years. It's no "quiet quitting". It's doing the job your contracted to. We are not a family, it is work. We are not a team, it is work.

I watched a guy quiet quit for years. He always had the best attitude because he loved doing the bare minimum. He was also very skilled at kissing butt to make managers like him. With no degree, he finally decided he wanted a new position and got a promotion on the 1st try. ....lesson learned.

It is not quiet quitting. It is providing the labor you have a contract for and being paid for. It is called an honest transaction.

This isn't quiet quitting. It's not working for free. The backbone of the retail industry is people who are working extra hard for a promotion that management will never give them.

You’re not quiet quitting. You’re doing your job that you were hired to do. And there’s not a damn thing wrong with that.

I love how they call you family, but when they lay you off, it's just business.

The company you work for is not your friend. Expect for them to try to cheat you at every turn.

As a a European I find it strange that this is considered unusual.

I’ve had many jobs that wouldn’t allow you to clock in a minute early and were reprimanded for clocking in a minute late.

That is not quiet quitting, that is you not allowing being used by employers that don’t give a crap about you.
I was called to work just one hour on Saturday and Sunday, my days off, but then I was actually constantly being called and I could not have even a proper meal during my day off. I was so over worked that I got terrible IBS. No one ever compensated me for that time, and the consequences are disastrous.

Used to work for a large international corporation. Advanced to middle management level but it was clear that if you really wanted to climb the corporate ladder to the top you had to be willing to travel - a lot. Now, I did go to a few countries on trips, but I wasn't willing to be away from home 3 weeks out of every month and it was clear that's what they were expecting. So stuck in the middle was where I ended up, but at least my marriage didn't deteriorate like some I saw. Sometimes when you watch someone climb to the top, yes they get the big office and title and the big bucks that go with that, but sometimes they have to pay a horrible price for that too. Sometimes their "married to the company" attitude means they sacrifice everything else in their life. Sometimes that means they're very wealthy - and also very miserable. I saw it happen a few times. That wasn't the life I wanted and I recognized that.

I worked at Wal-Mart for 5 years. They have a system; you clock into your task, the task takes... let's say an hour, then you clock into the next one. For the first three years I would always hurry to try to complete my tasks early and move on. I thought this would help me advance. Then they just kept promoting others and not me. I began thinking "it's because I'm good at my current job, they want me to stay right here. Why promote me when they get a good worker at a cheap rate?" So I slowed way down. "If they want cheap, they get cheap" so for the next two years, I took my time. They noticed but Nobody wanted to work for Wal-Mart at that time because they had such a bad (and deserving) reputation so they never canned me.
Anyways, I did end up getting that supervisor position, accepted, and never showed back up the next day.

Stop calling quiet quitting. You are doing your job... it is called working. You arent leaving the company, it isnt sabotage... it is just doing your job. No more no less, especially no more.

I started quiet quitting last week. There was a job I had discussed with my manager on a couple of previous occasions. When the opening came unexpectedly I was not even considered. I asked the reasons I was not seen as a fit with that position and the answers I got were purely ridiculous. Other people in my company and in my department asked why I hadn't applied for that position. I stated that I had and they were in shock. It's so strange how everyone in the company can see the extra things you do every day but your own manager has their Head so far up their own a** that they don't notice.

I work at Amazon and used to bust my ass to get noticed and increase my chances of getting a promotion. After 5 years of working there and 4 years of applying for a promotion I have given up, as the roles ALWAYS go to friends of those making the decision or diversity hires. So I’m doing the bare minimum at all times, not staying longer if they ask me too and not picking up overtime because I plan to have another job in the side. So I’m currently quiet quitting in the lead up to actually quitting 😅

[CarrieVogel]

I've never worked harder than I was compensated for, and I left jobs for being treated in any way unfairly. A job is a job, not a mandate from God.

Welcome to Labor Law 2022 edition.

You are punished for not going above and beyond but if you do then you are never allowed to drop your performance because then you are no longer performing at the "company standard".

[ProwlingSheep]

As a manager I totally support quiet quiting. It is just having a work/life balance and results in long term better consistent performance in the long run.
